PORT ST. LUCIE — It’s hardly the idea of cats and dogs living together, but AJ Ramos and Giancarlo Stanton continue to discuss the possibility of sharing an apartment this season.

The former Marlins teammates, who remain close friends, would rarely be home simultaneously given the schedule: The Mets are generally on the road when the Yankees are home and vice versa.

Ramos arrived to the Mets last July in a trade with the Marlins. Stanton arrived to the Yankees in a December deal with the Marlins.

“We are still looking at places and we might live together,” Ramos said Monday. “Definitely for the Subway Series I am going to be setting some traps for him, I may mess up his sleep a little bit.”

While joking that Stanton (who will make $25 million this season) would be responsible for the rent and groceries, Ramos said such a living arrangement wouldn’t be awkward.

“The only time it would be different would be when we are playing against each other,” Ramos said. “Other than that, it’s just Giancarlo and I’m AJ. It’s not Yankee-Met or anything like that. That’s just the way we go about things now.”

Ramos was asked how he expects his friend to perform with the Yankees.

“He can get jammed and hit a ball out of there, that park is very small,” Ramos said, referring to Yankee Stadium. “He is going from Miami to where you have to square one up to get one out to [the Bronx], where you can basically burp a ball out. I think he is going to do pretty good over there.

“He’s always a level person — never too high or too low — so I think he’s going to do well. If he was a very emotional player I think it would affect him, but I think he will be the same person.”
